Lesson 4: Emphasizing Text


Return to Lesson 3

Continue on with Lesson 5


These tags allow you to add emphasis to your text. They come in pairs. <I>...</I> Makes whatever is between the tags to appear in italics. <B>...</B> Makes whatever is between the tags to appear in bold. Assignment 4: Open the assignment for lesson 3 and make the following changes: <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>Putting Paragraphs on the Web</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>Putting Paragraphs on the Web</H1> <P>By placing the paragraph tag at the beginning of the paragraph, I have told the computer that this is a <I>new paragraph</I> and to behave accordingly and skip a line and then begin on the next line.</P> <P>See how easy this is? HTML is not hard as long as you remember to put the closing tags where you need them. When you forget the computer does all sorts of things that it shouldn't because you didn't tell it to stop doing something. <P> See that last time we did not put the closing tag and the computer still knew to begin another paragraph. This tag does not require the closing tag. It is optional. </BODY> </HTML> end of lesson
